Coming to national attention in 2008 on the Blues,
Roots, Soul & R&B scene, Nicole Hart made an impressive
beginning completing three highly successful tours: she
was the featured female performer of Jacksonville Beach,
Florida's “Springing the Blues”; the featured female
headline act of Laconia, New Hampshire's Big Three
Motorcycle Week; she performed many more prominent
festivals, including the Jersey Shore Red Bank Jazz &
Blues Fest, among other renowned venues on the national
circuit. Her initial independent CD release, “NICOLE
HART & THE NRG BAND, LIVE!” received airplay on radio
stations worldwide.

In
2009 she signed with Blues Leaf Records. Her debut
release, "TREASURE," debuted on the Living Blues charts
at # 14, and is still in rotation on XM/Sirius Satellite
Radio and the nationally syndicated Music Choice
television channel. In May 2009, Nicole received the
"Female Vocalist of the Year" award at the Los Angeles
South Bay Music Awards.

As
a modern day Blues woman, Nicole straddles a diverse
musical terrain defined by such icons as Koko Taylor,
Susan Tedeschi, & Bonnie Raitt.

You know him from his early start with the band Orleans,
his recordings and tours with Peter Gabriel in the 70's
and 80's, his work with the Indigo Girls, Hall & Oates
and Ani Difranco in the 90's, his work with the Tony
Levin Band in the last eight years, and recent recordings
and performances with Sarah McLachlan, Todd Rundgren and
goth legend Peter Murphy.

Jerry has composed and recorded music for television
shows, video games, and movies while racking up hundreds
of album credits. A skilled vocalist, sax and guitar
player as well, in a world where most drummers and
musicians sound alike, Jerry is a charismatic
legend.

In
addition to his live and recording work, Jerry operates Dreamland Recording Studio in Woodstock, NY

As a keyboardist/arranger,
Pete has
performed and recorded with hundreds of Jazz and Pop
artists - including Paul Simon, Annie Lennox, Miles
Davis, David Sanborn, Jaco Pastorius, Robbie Robertson,
Joe Louis Walker and John Scofield - receiving critical
accolades for his work during a 15 year association with
the legendary Gil Evans. Best known for his work in the
Jazz field, Pete released 3 solo albums for Gramavision
Records in the 90s, and in recent years, 3 CDs with his
organ trio - the current release being "Jump!" with Dave
Stryker and Lenny White.

An in-demand New York session keyboardist and arranger, Pete has
also created electronic realizations for hundreds of TV
commercials, dramatic series and feature films,
including “Missing in Action,” “Lean on Me,” “Silver
Bullet,” “Red Scorpion,” “The Color of Money,” “Maniac,”
“Spin City,” “America’s Most Wanted” and “Star Trek.”
But Pete, whose wry sense of humor is never far from the
surface, reveals that his favorite session produced the top-40 hit single “Close to You” by
The Clams - a Spike Jones tribute band - with his
brother, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Steve Gadd. 30 years
later, it's still a cult classic.

Teacher, composer and ubiquitous guitarist in the New
York recording studio scene, John has performed and/or
recorded with artists including Steve Marcus, Patti
Austin, Ricki Lee Jones, Angela DeNiro, Annie Haslam,
Nancy Wilson, Joel Grey and Peggy Lee. He has appeared
on Broadway in "Godspell" and "Jesus Christ Superstar."

Over the years, John’s guitar artistry has been heard on
numerous albums, commercials and film scores. His
current activities include live performances in many
special event shows as well as with various inovative
Jazz and Rock groups in the Tri-state area. A master
guitarist with a blazing technique, John\'s dynamic
approach to live performance has made him one of the
most in-demand guitarists in the New York area.

John's recent solo CD release - "Come Together" -
produced by gold/platinum award-winner Dennis Bell for
Guavajamm Records, gives the master guitarist a chance
to shine as a featured soloist.
